Should Victor refuse his request, the Creature also threatens to kill Victor's remaining friends and loved ones and not stop until he completely ruins him. He is adamant that the creature dies.

In Shelleys tale, a scientist animates a creature constructed from dismembered corpses. After Victor gets back to Geneva, Victor's father, weakened by age and by the death of his precious Elizabeth, dies a few days later.

[18] Mary Shelley, aged 18, and her lover (and later husband) Percy Bysshe Shelley visited Lord Byron at the Villa Diodati by Lake Geneva in Switzerland. Victor dies shortly thereafter, telling Walton, with his last words, to seek "happiness in tranquillity and avoid ambition".
